Jon Fosse said farewell to theory early in his career, choosing poetry, fiction, and drama as his mediums of choice. Here, however, in a selection from his two books of essays, we see just how incisive a critic and memoirist he can be. Not only including a generous portion of Fosse's writing on literature and theater—including the irresistible "Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather"—this collection also includes such personal essays such as "My Dear New Norwegian," "Old Houses," and "He Who Didn't Want to Become a Teacher."

Nel romanzo che chiude il ciclo della Settologia di Jon Fosse seguiamo, in un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo, le vite dei due Asle: il narratore incontra il suo amore di una vita, Ales, si unisce alla Chiesa Cattolica e inizia a guadagnarsi da vivere cercando di dipingere le immagini dalle tinte fosche che si imprimono nella sua mente. Un’esplorazione trascendente della condizione umana e un’esperienza di lettura ammaliante, ipnotica e trascinante, una riflessione a tutto tondo sull’essere umano e su quello che è capace di provare dentro di sé.

Due uomini condividono lo stesso nome, Asle. Uno è un uomo di successo, l’altro alza il gomito troppo spesso. Viene da pensare che siano la stessa persona, eppure a volte si incontrano e si parlano. Il tempo e lo spazio li seguono come due rette che a volte sembrano intersecarsi, su quella che potrebbe essere la costa sudoccidentale della Norvegia, tra i ghiacci, il mare scuro e i fiordi. Tra amori fugaci, alcool, gruppi rock e sigarette, i due Asle si incontrano per la prima volta. Si assomigliano, si vestono allo stesso modo ed entrambi vogliono fare i pittori.

Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) was a priest, a mystic, and nearly a heretic (he died before the Church court's verdict). In the 20th century, the Roman Catholic Church rehabilitated him and the late Pope John Paul II spoke of his work with fondness. However, what makes him of particular interest is the fact that he has influenced a wide range of spiritual teachers and mystics both inside and outside the Christian tradition. Erich Fromm, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, and Rudolf Steiner have all credited Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought.

Este libro está dirigido a los lectores que buscan una introducción a la confusa diversidad de la literatura alemana. El orden cronológico elegido es el más adecuado para este fin porque, a diferencia de los métodos de ordenación orientados a temas o géneros, muestra una génesis y traza la genealogía de la literatura alemana. El hecho de que la novela de Goethe Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre probablemente habría tenido un aspecto completamente distinto sin el Simplicissimus de Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen puede mostrarse más fácil y eficazmente en el contexto de un viaje en el tiempo presentado cronológicamente.
